Podcast Description
In this episode, we explore Research Summaries: Health, a curated collection of research highlighting how health outcomes are shaped by access, systems, and community-based support. The conversation spans mental health, preventative care, health equity, trauma-informed approaches, and the social determinants of health, with a particular focus on the role nonprofits play in addressing gaps left by traditional healthcare systems.
Rather than centering only on clinical solutions, this episode examines how community trust, culturally responsive programs, and holistic approaches—such as arts, nature, and social connection—contribute to improved health and well-being. Designed for nonprofit leaders, practitioners, funders, and policymakers, this discussion translates research into practical insights that can inform program design, partnerships, and long-term impact.
